brass

A large table in the centre was littered with all sorts of debris, while the tall brass tube of a powerful microscope bristled up amongst them.

A RIVER carried down in its stream two Pots, one made of earthenware and the other of brass.

The Earthen Pot said to the Brass Pot, “Pray keep at a distance and do not come near me, for if you touch me ever so slightly, I shall be broken in pieces, and besides, I by no means wish to come near you.”

I have no arms, and carry nothing but this one brass trumpet.” “That is the very reason for which you should be put to death,” they said; “for, while you do not fight yourself, your trumpet stirs all the others to battle.”
